Letter from the family:
Hello! We are the Peñaloza Benítez family, I Karina came from the south of Mexico to Tijuana in search of better opportunities. Here I met my husband and we got together to start a family. One year later we had our first baby. It was a very hard season since my husband fell into addictions. I prayed every night for my husband and the Lord helped us. We moved to Rosarito in search of a better life and so that we could have a fresh start. Here we met wonderful and good people who helped us start again and we found our new beginning. My husband found a new job and we started saving to buy a piece of land. Soon we had enough for the downpayment but the monthly payments and the rent became hard to pay so I started working to help with the expenses too. We didn't want to pay rent anymore so we tried to save as much as we could and with the help of our family we built a little room in our land to move in to. Our house is not in the best conditions. We have a lot of humidity and everytime it rains the roof and the walls leak. We've tried covering the roof with tarp but it doesn't last much. Our son get sick often because of the cold and the humidity and as much as we wan't to fix the house it's really hard because of all of our other expenses. Our son is also currently going to therapy, because he was diagnosed with autism. We are doing everything we can to help him but we need help to provide our son a better home. Thank you so much for giving us this opportunity, God willing we will have a better home one day. God bless you!
